Liverpool legend Graeme Souness has no doubts about the ability of Arthur Melo.

Arthur has joined the Reds on-loan from Juventus.

Souness told the Daily Mail, "There's no doubting the quality of Liverpool's latest addition, Arthur Melo.

“But will he be able to deal with the intensity of the English game, given that Liverpool play games of cup final intensity every weekend and everyone always has to be at it?

“I do think there is room in that midfield for another high-intensity workaholic who can also deliver a cute pass. Go back to Liverpool's best midfield of three or four years ago. You had Gini Wijnaldum. Workaholic. James Milner. Workaholic. Jordan Henderson. Workaholic.

“Not the most gifted in terms of cute passing but relentless workers, all of them. The creativity was coming through the full-backs and the forwards. But I'm not seeing the Liverpool I know because the team are not getting first to that ball. Why is this so? That's a question for the players and I have no doubt that Klopp will be asking it, in no uncertain terms."
